Re: [nobawc-announce] Call to support REI workers!! (fwd), robert
- 👍
Re: April 14, 2025 (fwd), robert
- This is just one among many distractions. When it comes down to it, although it is something that should be thought about, it seems like there are many more big policy changes that are being made that need to be dealt with -- Trump and his minions are jus...
Re: pelvic floor, robert
- I think it's no big news that I have tight hamstrings and hips.
Re: Stupid Coup Month Three: Two Plus Two Is Still Four (fwd), robert
- Well, I am looking forward to 2 weeks from now -- the mark of the first 100 days, when the honeymoon for Trump's supporters may finally be over.
Re: Chopsticks Cookies (fwd), robert
- Well, if Camera 3 finally gets some watchable movies, maybe we can go to Angkor Chef.
Re: camoflaged invasion of Panama, robert
- Or, perhaps, simply, just to justify the outrageously huge defense department budget request -- just stir up some hornet's nests so congress will be forced to hand over the money. Maybe Flora will really always be employed by the VA -- who knows?
Re: maybe we shouldn't be asking for receipts, robert
- Frankly, I'd rather risk absorbing toxic chemicals by taking a receipt that I can later review than become a victim of stolen identity.
Re: comment from British academic about the situation here, robert
- This is just the tip of the iceberg. If foreign students are prevented from attending universities, it's not just the universities that would suffer -- all the business supporting those people, including housing, food, etc. will also suffer. And, forcing t...
- Re: comment from British academic about the situation here, heather Howard
- Couldn’t agree more. Also, the fear that’s being spread. One of my grad students says they are “self-deporting,” Multiply this by hundreds who are leaving now voluntarily and all those who are being recruited now for next AY and are having second thoughts,...
Re: NLRB infiltration by Russian hackers?, robert
- Everything bad, everywhere, all at once.
Re: dedollarization, robert
- Having the Euro has a major currency would definitely be a positive thing. Trump will try hard to de-dollarize the world, but I have a feeling that a lot of business interests will push back hard. His administration will probably back down like he's done ...
Re: RCV on back burner, robert
- It's OK if it's on the back-burner -- as long as it doesn't go away.
Re: other abundance agenda, robert
- Agreed. And, the resistance to "going back" on women's rights is an important piece here: allowing women to make choices on bearing children and entering the workforce or getting an education is key to the part of "fewer" [children]. Unfortunately, income...
Re: US massive trade surplus...in education, robert
- Well, in general, Trump and his ilk completely ignore services sold to other countries. It's pretty distorted how their thinking is.
Re: lefty preppers, robert
- Glad they mention Margaret Killjoy. I already struggle to get everything done. Adding prepping on top of that is difficult. It's probably a balance, but I feel like it's difficult to find time to enjoy life before your imminent death.
Re: The Tax War¢s First Crusader (fwd), robert
- It's not yet available on the pod. I'm hopeful.
Re: Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor team up, robert
- Did you read the article referenced in this article?: vanityfair.com Pretty disturbing. Marx would have had a lot to say, I think. Steve Bannon says "the over-leveraged US economy is going to crash". It's not the overleveraged US economy that going to cau...
Re: You're invited: Party for Dollars & Sense (fwd), robert
- Seems like it would be quite a hike to go from your yoga thing up to Richmond.
Re: Fwd: YAK Fun Run and Plant Sale April 26 and 27, Match Mochi Madness, and many more workshops, classes and updates (fwd), robert
- Again?! When did you need me to go? What is on your list?
Re: Maher's visit with DJT, robert
- I did like Maher's movie about religion. That was very funny. But, haven't really followed him much since (except when we visit , of course 😏). I don't think I could ever meet with someone like Trump or a Trump-like person. Just too much of a bully, a cons...
Spring SBV birthdays, Elaine Sarni

- Re: Spring SBV birthdays, Nisha Blum
- Hi all, Sorry to miss this event the 2nd year in a row, but Matt & I will be out-of-town again, like last year. Thanks for the invitation, and hope to see everyone another time. Happy birthday to Robert, Richard & Elaine! Regards, Nisha
- Re: Spring SBV birthdays, Shalabh Agarwal
- Happy Birthday to all. I should be able to make it. Glad we're going to Di Lac instead of the usual.
- Re: Spring SBV birthdays, Robert
- Noelle and I would like to attend. Please consider this our RSVP.
Re: Re Giants tickets (fwd), robert
- How are you going to do this? I guess you could start collecting money now and set a deadline of when you'll buy the tickets, e.g., end of this week. Then, at least, some people will be able to sit together. Does everybody do Paypal? If so, they could pay...
RE: Re Giants tickets (fwd), robert
- Oh, you should contact Bernard via Meetup.com via the Member list and send him a message that way to ask about Friday.
RE: Re Giants tickets (fwd), robert
- Glad it worked out.
Re: Thank You for Contacting My Office (fwd), robert
- A bit redundant sending him a note, but at least you have something in writing.

Re: trump polls, robert

- Re: trump polls, robert
- Yeah, I agree. Why have babies when life seems crappy?
Re: MS Contact, Robert

- Message not available
- RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: MS Contact, Robert
- Thanks. I got a message from Neil saying that it should be able to be transferred in-kind, but I think he was assuming that the brokerage account on the Fidelity side is also unmanaged. I asked my broker at Fidelity about setting up the transfer to an unma...
Re: Reminder re: this Sunday dinner 4/27 DiLac Restaurant, Robert
- I RSVP'd for both Noelle and myself earlier this week.
Re: Hegseth had unsecured internet line to connect with Signal, robert
- Maybe he works for the Russians?
Re: E-V.com on Newsom and AOC, robert
- I don't think it matters whether he's a phony or not. The fact is that he's pro-millionaire and pro-billionaire. That is primarily why I never, ever voted for him, and never will. He's just another Clinton clone and, in some ways, even worse. I would vote...
Re: Culper spy ring beer, robert
- Do you think this was a pivot or was it a TURN?
Re: WaPost & open ai, robert
- Not surprising. It's where the money is. At least, right now.
Re: endtimes fascism interview, robert
- Yeah, this was interesting, and, yet, depressing. I guess this doom scrolling, except expecting doom in-the-real-world. It begs the question about what really motivates these people. Is life just about outliving the other guy? Or, is it laughing, admiring...
Re: 2025 New Maple Crop (fwd), robert
- I don't think so. We hardly ever use maple syrup, not even as a sugar substitute.
Re: enshittification is the point, robert
- As Cory Doctorow has explained, this model is built into capitalism. Convenience and just the plain laziness of Americans just make it that much worse.
Re: BART’s where-I-live Station: “The Worst New Transit Project in... (fwd), robert
- Well, the Youtube video is pretty convincing. In any case, it does seem like a dangerous gambit.
Re: Ethical and Civil Liberties Risks in RFK Jr .¢s Autism Registry Initiative (fwd), robert
- Yeah, seems like a nightmare. Not sure why you'd go out of your way to stigmatize people -- unless, maybe, if you are eugenicist.
Re: TurboTax Update: Federal Return Accepted, Robert
- We got our tax refunds, just FYI.

- We will need to have your newspaper held. We can do this on Sunday or some time this coming week.
pro-natalism on NPR, Robert

Re: This Weekend's Movie Schedule (fwd), robert
- Sure. When?
neurodivergence, Robert
- movielens.org I never rated "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", so I don't think we saw it. It was listed as a movie that did a good job at portraying neurodivergence and why I added it to our Max watchlist.

Re: JTown farmers mkt back, robert

Re: House ğŸ 209 Raymond Buckner Drive, Robert

Re: Barbara Fleig requests $46.81 (fwd), robert
- You could try logging on to see if you can pay online. If it doesn't work, then you should ask for their address and send them a check.
Re: [The Washington Post] ¡Sinners¢ is a Black challenge to white Christianity (fwd), robert
- When are we supposed to leave for this?
Re: streaming TV series recs, robert
- We saw the previews for this. Looked amusing, but I consider it low priority entertainment. Hadn't heard about this one. In any case, I added both to our watchlists.
Re: Paris Marx on Democracy Now!, robert
- I was unable to find the parts, just the whole show.
Re: [SV4Bernie] where-I-live Tesla Takedown Thursday & Saturday (fwd), robert
- Not sure it was specifically Tesla that was taken down, but glad it's going down nevertheless.
Re: Feds Threaten Wikipedia After Right-Wing Media Uproar (fwd), robert
- Wikipedia is so insanely popular that just putting up a few banner messages would probably quash any talk of trying to shut it down. It seems like a lot of bluster for no reason.
Re: [nobawc-announce] accepting new member applications at Interstitial Technology Co-operative (fwd), robert
- I don't think I have the bandwidth to apply before the May 11 deadline. I'll keep it in mind in any case.
Re: Fandango Purchase Confirmation - Please Read (fwd), robert
- I thought you used AMC Theaters directly?
Re: mixed martial arts fitness "clubs" for young men, robert
- Funny. I just posted a message in Signal saying that younger people are joining fewer clubs, and that I didn't know why. This article seems to contradict that statement.
Re: non-askers, robert

Re: Jon Stewart profile on E-V.com, robert
- I really like his interviews. He manages to ask the deep and interesting questions. However, he is still very accepting of capitalism and its traits and is probably my primary hesitancy in voting for him for president.
Re: SNF Medicare revalidation deadline extended to Aug. 1 (fwd), robert

- Re: COVID effects on youngins voting trends, robert
- Agree with the below. Also, like I said in the kitchen, there's the whole issue about whether people 18-21 vote at all -- they usually don't. They don't really start voting until later in life. So, they may change their minds by that time (as mentioned bel...
Re: population rise in CA, robert

Re: assisted living, robert

- Message not available
- Re: assisted living, robert
- People tend to care more about family members or people they have known for a while, but, yeah, I suppose caring about older people regardless of relation sometimes happens.

Re: [The Washington Post] ¡Sinners¢ is a Black challenge to white Christianity, robert
- Well, its moral tales are definitely not clear-cut. It is kinda of funny that the vampires and church-goers have more in common than the white supremacists. I suppose that white supremacists are always bad in every context -- they don't even have a soundt...
Re: book reports, Robert

Re: Jitterbug senior phones, robert
- I see that these phones do not work internationally nor outside of the U.S. domestic area. According to cnet.com , you can ditch your phone when traveling to another country and just buy a burner flip phone, which you would trash after you return.
paybyphone, Robert
- The PIN we used for parking at MBTA station in Boston, paybyphone, is your birthday. We should've used the last 4 digits of your cell phone, but didn't think of that.
Re: From Gail re: dinners with you, Noelle

Re: First Thing: Trump says he ¡doesn¢t rule out¢ using military force to control Gree nland (fwd), robert
- I guess "soft eugenics" is fine, but I still like "social Darwinism". I like the term "tech-natalist". Funny. I guarantee you that $5000 tax rebate will do nothing to the birth rate. In fact, there are very few things that can be done about birth rates. M...
Re: First Thing: Trump says he ¡doesn¢t rule out¢ using military force to control Gree nland (fwd), robert
